About Quad and Cloister

This site, quadandcloister, is for prospective students and their families, particularly in Latin America, who are researching universities and how to enter them. It covers the institution and the entrance exam that gates it. The sections provide concrete information on countries, admissions processes, institutions, student life, research, news, scholarships and finance, careers and licensing, and study abroad opportunities.

The news section of quadandcloister reports on developments in global higher education and admissions. Each story is rewritten from named, publicly available sources, which are linked. Where possible, facts are checked against multiple reports. Every article carries a clear publication date. No story contains invented quotes, speculation presented as fact, or unattributed information.

The site builds permanent reference pages on core topics, including specific universities, entrance exams, degree courses, scholarships, careers, standardised tests, and student cities. Each reference entry is built around a table of key facts, followed by detailed explanatory sections. Every page features at least one real, credited photograph of the subject. These reference pages are reviewed and updated when the policies, fees, or structures they describe change.

The site carries no advertising for betting or gambling services. If an error is published, a correction is made promptly and noted openly on a public corrections page.

For questions or to suggest a correction, please use the contact page. This site aims to be a plain, reliable starting point for navigating the complex systems of university admissions and life.
